Broke Guy Day Care: Monkeys for nothing

All San Francisco Zoo exhibits, including the rare John Bolton monkey, are free this Wednesday.

After the Ann Coulter fiasco on the Culture Blog — which was supposed to be a stupid little local news item, and then led to this and this (plus two short mentions on Keith Olbermann’s MSNBC show), they more than deserved five months of peace.

We plan to resume our position as Aggressive Zoo Watchdog in the near future — but first, how about a shout-out for their free admission day? It’s scheduled on the first Wednesday of every month, which is coming up in a few days.

And remember, only tourists and a few moms from Marin actually pay for parking at the zoo. (It’s free along Sloat Blvd., near the Doggie Diner head.) If you drive a Prius, live less than a mile away and bring your own food, you and your family of four can enjoy the zoo for about 5 cents.
